2 Chronicles 11
1 Forsothe Roboam cam in to Jerusalem, and clepide togidere al the hows of Juda and of Beniamyn, `til to nyne scoore thousynde of chosen men and werriouris, for to fiyte ayens Israel, and for to turne his rewme to hym.
Lè Woboram rive lavil Jerizalèm, li sanble sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda ki te nan branch fanmi Jida ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen. Li te fè lide al goumen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo pou l' mete yo anba lòd li ankò.
2 And the word of the Lord was maad to Semeye, the man of God,
Men, Bondye pale ak Chemaya, pwofèt li a, li di l' konsa:
3 and seide, Speke thou to Roboam, the sone of Salomon, kyng of Juda, and to al Israel, which is in Juda and Beniamyn; The Lord seith these thingis,
-Pale ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout moun pep Izrayèl ki fè pati branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Di yo konsa:
4 Ye schulen not stie, nethir ye schulen fiyte ayens youre britheren; ech man turne ayen in to his hows, for this thing is doon bi my wille. And whanne thei hadden herd the word of the Lord, thei turneden ayen, and yeden not ayens kyng Jeroboam.
Men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye ba yo: Piga n' al goumen ak fanmi nou yo. Tounen lakay nou. Sa ki rive a se travay mwen. Se mwen menm ki vle l' konsa. Moun yo koute lòd Seyè a vre, yo pa moute al goumen ak Jewoboram.
5 Forsothe Roboam dwellide in Jerusalem, and he bildide wallid citees in Juda;
Woboram rete lavil Jerizalèm, li moute ranpa nan anpil lavil peyi Jida pou pwoteje yo.
6 and bildide Bethleem, and Ethan, and Thecue, and Bethsur;
Se konsa, li ranfòse miray lavil Betleyèm, Eytam, Tekoa,
7 and Sochot, and Odollam;
Betsou, Soko, Adoulam,
8 also and Jeth, and Maresa, and Ziph;
Gat, Marecha, Zif,
9 but also Huram, and Lachis, and Azecha;
Adorayim, Lakis, Aseka,
10 and Saraa, and Hailon, and Ebron, that weren in Juda and Beniamyn, ful strong citees.
Soreya, Ajalon, Ebwon. Tou sa se lavil ak ranpa ki te nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Benjamen.
11 And whanne he hadde closid tho with wallis, he settide `in tho citees princes, and bernes of metis, that is, of oile, and of wyn.
Li ranfòse miray ranpa yo, li mete chèf reskonsab yo, li fè bati depo pou mete manje, lwil ak diven.
12 But also in ech citee he made placis of armuris of scheeldis, and speris, and he made tho strong with most diligence; and he regnyde on Juda and Beniamyn.
Lèfini, nan chak lavil, li fè bay gwo plak pwotèj ak frenn an kantite. Lavil sa yo te byen pwoteje. Se konsa Woboram te kenbe moun branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo anba otorite l'.
13 Sotheli the preestis and dekenes, that weren in al Israel, camen to hym fro alle her seetis,
Prèt yo ak moun Levi yo soti toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl, yo vin jwenn Woboram.
14 and forsoken her subarbis and possessiouns, and thei passiden to Juda and to Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and hise aftir comeris hadden cast hem a wey, that thei schulden not be set in preesthod of the Lord;
Moun Levi yo te kite bèt yo nan savann ak tout lòt byen yo, yo desann lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida, paske Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la ak tout wa ki te vin apre l' yo, te enpoze moun Levi yo fè sèvis yo tankou prèt Seyè a.
15 which Jeroboam made to hym preestis of hiye places, and of feendis, and of caluys, which he hadde maad.
Jewoboram te chwazi prèt pa l' pou fè sèvis kote yo fè ofrann bèt pou lòt bondye li t'ap sèvi sou fòm estati bouk kabrit ak ti towo bèf li te fè fè pou li yo.
16 But also of alle the linagis of Israel, whiche euer yauen her herte to seke the Lord God of Israel, thei camen to Jerusalem for to offre her sacrifices bifor the Lord God of her fadris.
Nan tout peyi Izrayèl la moun ki te vle sèvi Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ak tout kè yo fè tankou moun Levi yo ak prèt yo. Yo desann lavil Jerizalèm pou yo te ka ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a.
17 And thei strengthiden the rewme of Juda, and strengthiden Roboam, the sone of Salomon, bi thre yeer; for thei yeden in the weies of Dauid, and of Salomon, oneli bi thre yeer.
Sa te bay gouvènman peyi Jida a anpil fòs. Pandan twazan yo kenbe la ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, yo viv jan yo te konn viv sou rèy wa David ak wa Salomon.
18 Forsothe Roboam weddide a wijf Malaoth, the douytir of Jerymuth, sone of Dauid, and Abiail, the douytir of Heliab, sone of Ysaye;
Woboram te marye ak Malat, pitit fi Jerimòt ki te pitit David ak Abigayil, pitit fi Eliyab, pitit pitit fi Izayi.
19 and sche childide to hym sones, Yeus, and Somorie, and Zerei.
Yo fè twa pitit gason: Jeouch, Chemarya ak Saram.
20 Also after this wijf he took Maacha, the douyter of Abissalon, and sche childide to hym Abia, and Thai, and Ziza, and Salomyth.
Apre sa, Woboram marye ak Maka, pitit fi Absalon, ki ba li kat pitit gason: Abija, Atayi, Ziza ak Chelomit.
21 Forsothe Roboam louyde Maacha, the douytir of Abissalon, aboue alle hise wyues and secundarie wyues. Forsothe he hadde weddid eiytene wyues, sotheli sixti secundarie wyues; and he gendride eiyte and twenti sones, and sixti douytris.
Antou Woboram te gen dizwit madan marye ak swasant fanm kay. Li fè venntwit pitit gason ak swasant pitit fi. Nan tout madan marye li yo ak fanm kay li yo, se Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, li te pi renmen.
22 Sotheli he ordeynede Abia, the sone of Maacha, in the heed, duyk ouer alle hise britheren; for he thouyte to make Abia kyng,
Konsa tou, li te pito Abija, pitit gason Maka te fè pou li a, pase tout lòt pitit li yo. Li mete l' chèf tout frè l' yo. Li te vle se li ki pou pran plas li lè li mouri.
23 for he was wisere and myytiere ouer alle hise sones, and in alle the coostis of Juda and of Beniamyn, and in alle wallid citees; and he yaf to hem ful many metis, and he had many wyues.
Li te fè lide bay chak pitit gason l' yo yon reskonsablite. Se konsa, li voye yo al rete toupatou nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Benjamen, nan tout lavil li te ranfòse yo, li ba yo pwovizyon an kantite epi li marye yo ak anpil fanm.
